I'm here to absorb knowledge, gain insights, and collaborate with like-minded individuals.I believe Virginia's dynamic real estate landscape presents endless possibilities for growth and prosperity.

In situations like this where you did everything possible in the correct way (bid the work, like item and documentation), it may not be worth everyone's time and headache to take this to court.

You people need to call me for painting and I can get rich.I've been painting my entire life since my father was a house painter and I worked with him when I was old enough to walk, in Massachusetts.

I have been getting wider, stronger outdoor furniture when possible. 

.- If possible line up all your quotes and or work BEFORE you close so you're not wasting time.- This is MOSTLY a joke but only buy a home if it's 5 minutes or less from a Home Depot or Lowes.

Bought as a possible buy and hold or fix and flip.

So the conclusion is that I'd definitely recommend using auction.com again to buy more rental properties, or possibly to flip.

@Martin BrownAlso the reality is if you are trying to forecast numbers, the second you hit enter they are wrong as nothing goes the way you modeled it.The important thing to consider when modeling is to have data as accurate as possible (garbage in garbage out), but most importantly (and this is where investors miss the boat), what is the sensitivity to the numbersFor example if doing a flip with hard money, which causes more pain - $20k more to complete, 25k less in sales price or getting the right number but it takes 3 months longer?

my understanding that there is rent control as well and can not increase rents more than 7% a year for the same tenant.Just trying to see if there is a possibility to enter this market at this timeTIA

Unlike residential properties like duplexes, commercial assets like 8-unit rentals frequently call for a different strategy when it comes to finance, management, and tenant relations.Examine carefully the markets that correspond with your investing objectives when considering out-of-state possibilities.
